"Somewhere, years ago, I read an interview with a historian. They said that fascism will often resurface in societies only when the last people who fought or lived under a previous fascist regime have died."

This is kind of response under the guise of "failure of professionalism" or "lack of collegiality" has deep roots in medicine. Not aligned with protecting the public.
During Covid, when @gorskon.bsky.social & I coauthored a piece for @bmj.com on the links between right-wing climate denialist billionaires, anti-vaxxers, & the Great Barrington Declaration, some physicians felt it was "uncollegial" to be critical of the GBD
Now the GBD are Trump & RFK Jr's lackeys😔
Now the GBD are Trump & RFK Jr's lackeys😔
Not being a physician, what I see is a toxic push for collegiality among medical professionals that has people not calling out bad actors, or as here, going out of the way to praise them, hoping they’ll reform and fly straight, when what they needed was to be called out and disempowered.

Multiple COVID-19 infections pose a risk for developing Long COVID. People who got infected twice with COVID-19 were twice as likely as those who got COVID-19 once to develop Long COVID symptoms that affect the major organs in the body.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.
The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US.
The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.

The CDC shooting didn’t even really register in the news and the details are absolutely insane
First the terrorist tried to enter campus in a car filled with guns. When he wasn’t allowed past the gates, he started firing from a CVS drugstore across the street. From a semi-automatic weapon, 500 shots is a lot. He was at it for a long time.
Here are the weapons & shell casings he left behind.

Helpless? Prayers? That’s what pastors and civilians should be doing. We pay members of Congress to ask hard questions, start investigating,and find out if the government could have done more. Do it now before the next storm. We aren’t paying you to pray. We are paying you to help all of us.

Opinion: Like Terry Fox had hope, my friend Vanessa Davis had gratitude until the very end
It wasn’t a delusional spin on the devastation of what she faced – a cancer she knew would inevitably kill her. Her gratitude was a deliberate, intentional choice
